Twelve dropped passes, including that "no look" missed pass by Hankerson. I have been watching Skins for 59 years and have never see as bad a game turned in by receivers. I am totally disgusted. Don't even mention our defense to me. Except for Morris and RG111, maybe Kerrigan and a couple of other, we truly suck.

I'm with ya...I'm not nearly as concerned about the dropped passes and the O in general as they are actually a work in progress and they will get better....the D on the other hand, they have me worried....what the hell is going on with this D? They are absolutely putrid....they can't stop anything...

The defense looks worse than any Redskin defense I've seen in 15 years. The way the offense is being run .... lackadaisical and no sense of urgency even with only 8 minutes left, and down by 2 scores? Running gadget plays like turning RG3 into a receiver so he can get his head taken off? Poor discipline with 12 drops by receivers? Hall picking a fight with a ref? Poor tackling .... poor focus ... poor effort .... EXTRA POINT BLOCKED ?

Freaking Jim Zorn put a better product on the filed, with LESS talent.

Any one see that confrontation between the Ref and Shanahan? The ref said "get back on the sideline ... I'm sick of your %$^"

I agree with the ref ... I'm sick of him too.

Don't forget the horribly shanked punt.

True, this type of game points to coaching. The talent level is not good, but that has no bearing on guys heads are not in the game.

Shanahan: We need 5 years to turn this thing around.
Hazlet: It takes 3 years to get this 3-4 Defense going
Colt's Coaching Staff: Really? It takes 5 years to turn things around? Three years to switch to the 3-4? That's news to us.

Relax everyone...this was not a game they were suppose to win. Please remember, unlike the previous twenty years they're averaging more than 8 points a game, they're competitive and the Cowboys and Eagles aren't very good so the season is not over like it usually is at this time. Three wins already has exceeded everyone's expectations. So far so good!

The problem here is not that we didn't win. It is the lackluster performance. Remember the Buffalo game last year? This was worse in individual performances. These things keep happening. Usually, this points to ISSUES with a team. Folks point talent, but a lack of talent and a switch to the 3-4 is not stopping the Colt players from playing their hearts out.
